Cdn Citizenship Virtual Oath Ceremony Can Request In Person

[Amritpal]

I and my wife applied for Canadian citizenship in August 2019. We wrote our citizenship test in January 2020. We received an email 2 weeks ago that you will be given an oath of Canadian citizenship. We got our dresses dry cleaned, got haircut, and my wife spent 2 hours in beauty parlour yesterday. We were so excited to go for oath ceremony but we just realized that it is a virtual oath ceremony. Is there any way we can request that we want to be present at the oath ceremony in the Canadian citizenship court?

Due to Covid-19, in person oath ceremonies for Canadian citizenship have been cancelled. The virtual ceremonies are rather taking place to keep in mind the heath and safety of the citizenship judges, the staff, and citizens.

You will enjoy the virtual oath ceremony. You will be sent a link through email. You would join the citizenship court through zoom. You will be given instructions and asked to cut your PR Card into pieces in front of the camera. You will be sent the form CIT0049 and asked to sign it, and send the scanned form back by email. Finally, the oath for Canadian citizenship will be given to you and you will proudly join the big Canadian family. You will receive your Canadian citizenship certificate in the mail between 2-4 weeks.
